Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
Well pluses:
More direct gameplan for most of the half - we looked like a football team (bar some terrible kicks)
Pierce best ruckman on the ground and actually looks like a smart player
Freeman going ok and first goal
Ross
Cons
Steven: I hate his short handball game which often advantages the opposition
Last 4 minutes: We lost intensity and staring going backwards again
Taking possession when an opponent is there; lean to just tap it forward instead please

Better make sure Long gets 4 for that brutal nudge that gifted Francis a goal.

Pipe down Hero. I’m no Richardson fan but good lord. Not Richo’s fault that Marshall has a brain fade and kicks backwards to pressure or Webster gives away an ordinary free kick.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
4-6!!! FFS...I'd give him 1-2 for that. No eyes for the ball, but not high impact.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
Same reason they still can’t kick for goal. Mentally weak due to crap leadership...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
Cameron only got 5 for an elbow to the head.
How can this be 4 to 6?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
It was pretty ugly. Went the hip and shoulder but horribly late. Salad took 3 or 4 steps after due sposing of the ball before Brown got him.

Richo and the team could learn a lot about consistency from you Curly.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
Billings looked good in the middle of the ground...but then we moved him forward again.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
Pierce has shown in a half what Hickey and Longer haven't done in years. he may tire in the second half due to match conditioning but I think, from what I've seen, we should persevere with him.
Marshall and Rice not doing much

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
Surely not. 2 or 3 though. Trouble is you can’t argue it was part of contesting the footy. Was really late.longtimesaint wrote: ↑Fri 10 Aug 2018 10:19pm Cameron only got 5 for an elbow to the head.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
I’m still reeling that he said that. When you have to rely on Derm to back your man in things are grim. Eddie “straight to the Tribunal” can go take a long walk off a short pier.degruch wrote:4-6!!! FFS...I'd give him 1-2 for that. No eyes for the ball, but not high impact.

And the crap continues, hey they could rest 4 more players and still beat us.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
Umps and commentators are hot for the Bombers and last 5 minutes diabolical. Will take good coaching to settle the guys. Good coaching?

Lonie has been good in the past month
As a past hater and I have been for a long time I think we could do worse than giving him another year

Maybe, just maybe he will make it. Nearly 50 games and looks much better
